Welcome!

Welcome to my website on the FSA film advertisement project. The project thus far is a video introducing and briefly analyzing images in the Farm Security Administration - Office of War Information photo collection for the sake of looking at the materiality and place of movie posters in the 1930s and early 1940s. Check out the posts below for bibliographical information as well as acknowledgements and credits.
